然后林轩又来到燕天衡的尸体旁边，喜滋滋的开始收刮战利品，这家伙虽然阴险狠毒，到好歹也是一家之主，想必身家也不会让自己失望。
Then Lin Xuan approached the body of Yan Tianheng and happily began to collect the spoils from the battle. Although this man was cunning and vicious, he was still the head of a family, so his assets would not disappoint.
lín xuān cóng tā shēn shàng ， zhǎo dào le yí gè chǔ wù shǒu zhuó ， shén shí zhù rù ， jiāng lǐ miàn de dōng xī quán bù qīng lǐ chū lái 。
林轩从他身上，找到了一个储物手镯，神识注入，将里面的东西全部清理出来。
Lin Xuan found a storage bracelet on him. He injected his divine sense into it and cleared out everything inside.
xià pǐn jīng shí jiǔ kuài ， xǐ suǐ dān yī píng ， hái yǒu yù tǒng jiǎn ， bù yòng kàn ， yě zhī dào shì tā fú jī wāng jiā dì zi qiǎng lái de zhōng jí gōng fǎ le ， chú cǐ yǐ wài ， hái yǒu yí gè xiǎo xiǎo de dǐng lú
下品晶石九块，洗髓丹一瓶，还有玉筒简，不用看，也知道是他伏击汪家弟子抢来的中级功法了，除此以外，还有一个小小的鼎炉
Nine lower-grade crystal stones, one bottle of Essence Cleansing Pills, and an jade cylinder—without looking, Lin Xuan knew that these were theintermediate cultivation method he had stolen from the Wang family disciple. Besides, there was also a small cauldron.
shōu huò bù cuò ！
收获不错！
The harvest wasn't bad!
jiǔ kuài jīng shí yǐ jīng zú gòu mǎi zì jǐ yòng qù de fú lù ， nà yù tǒng jiǎn de gōng fǎ jì rán bèi wāng jiā yù dìng ， kěn dìng yě bǐ zì jǐ mǎi lái de yào hǎo dé duō ， xǐ suǐ dān suī rán bù quē ， dàn zǒng yě jié shěng le tí chún de shí jiān ， zhì yú dǐng lú ， cóng chǔ wù shǒu zhuó lǐ miàn ná chū lái yǐ hòu ， jiù sàn fà zhe jīng rén de líng qì ， biǎo miàn hái kè yǒu qí yì de huā wén ， yī kàn jiù bú shì fán pǐn 。
九块晶石已经足够买自己用去的符箓，那玉筒简的功法既然被汪家预定，肯定也比自己买来的要好得多，洗髓丹虽然不缺，但总也节省了提纯的时间，至于鼎炉，从储物手镯里面拿出来以后，就散发着惊人的灵气，表面还刻有奇异的花纹，一看就不是凡品。
The nine crystal stones would be enough to buy the talismans he needed. The technique in the jade cylinder was already reserved by the Wang family, so it must be much better than what he could buy. Although he didn't lack Essence Cleansing Pills, saving time on purification was still beneficial. As for the cauldron, after taking it out of the storage bracelet, it emitted a shocking amount of qi and had strange patterns carved into its surface, clearly not an ordinary item.
zài jiā shàng shòu hún zhī fú ， zhè yī zhàn zì jǐ suī rán sǔn hào le jìn bǎi zhāng dī jiē fú ， dàn shōu huò xiǎn rán yào dà dé duō 。
再加上兽魂之符，这一战自己虽然损耗了近百张低阶符，但收获显然要大得多。
Adding to this, there was also a beast soul talisman. Although he had used nearly one hundred lower-grade talismans in this battle, his gains were much greater than his losses.
“ yí ， zhè shì shén me ？”
“咦，这是什么？”
"Hey, what's this?"
lín xuān tū rán fā xiàn zài chǔ wù shǒu zhuó zuì lǐ miàn de jiǎo luò ， hái yǒu yí gè xiǎo hé ， yīn wèi bù qǐ yǎn ， gāng cái chà diǎn yí lòu diào le 。
林轩突然发现在储物手镯最里面的角落，还有一个小盒，因为不起眼，刚才差点遗漏掉了。
Lin Xuan suddenly noticed a small box at the corner of the storage bracelet. Because it was unobtrusive, he almost overlooked it.
yòng shén shí jiāng tā qǔ chū ， shì yòng tán mù diāo kè ér chéng le ， gǔ sè gǔ xiāng ， jiāng hé gài dǎ kāi ， lǐ miàn pù zhe jǐn duàn ， jǐn duàn shàng miàn fàng zhe yī zhū yào cǎo 。
用神识将它取出，是用檀木雕刻而成了，古色古香，将盒盖打开，里面铺着锦缎，锦缎上面放着一株药草。
Using his divine sense to retrieve it, it was carved from sandalwood and had an ancient charm. Opening the lid, he found a piece of silk inside, with a medicinal herb placed on top.
nà yào cǎo cǎi zhāi xià lái yīng gāi yǐ jīng yǒu yī duàn shí jiān ， què yī rán shí fēn xīn xiān ， sàn fà zhe dàn dàn de xiāng qì ， lìng rén hún shēn shū tài ， lín xuān suī rán bù rèn shí ， dàn yě zhī dào kěn dìng zhēn xī 。
那药草采摘下来应该已经有一段时间，却依然十分新鲜，散发着淡淡的香气，令人浑身舒泰，林轩虽然不认识，但也知道肯定珍稀。
The herb had been harvested for some time but remained fresh, emitting a faint fragrance that made him feel refreshed. Although Lin Xuan didn't recognize it, he knew it was definitely rare.
bǎ jǐn hé gài hǎo ， jiāng tā hé qí tā bǎo wù yì qǐ shōu dào chǔ wù shǒu zhuó lǐ ， rán hòu lín xuān jiāng yàn jiā fù zi de shī tǐ bān zài yì qǐ ， yòng le yī zhāng fēng yìn yǒu liú shā shù de fú ， dì biǎo biàn chéng le zhǎo zé ， liǎng jù shī tǐ xiàn luò jìn qù ， xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng ， guò le yī huì er ， liú shā yòu biàn chéng le jiān shí de ní tǔ 。
把锦盒盖好，将它和其他宝物一起收到储物手镯里，然后林轩将燕家父子的尸体搬在一起，用了一张封印有流沙术的符，地表变成了沼泽，两具尸体陷落进去，消失得无影无踪，过了一会儿，流沙又变成了坚实的泥土。
He closed the box and put it away with other treasures in his storage bracelet. Then, he moved the bodies of the Yan family father and son together and used a talisman with Sand Flow Technique to turn the ground into marshland. The two bodies sank into it and disappeared without a trace. After some time, the sand turned back into solid earth.
zhè yàng jiù shén bù zhī guǐ bù jué le ， shuí yě xiǎng bú dào yàn jiā fù zi huì zàng shēn yú cǐ 。
这样就神不知鬼不觉了，谁也想不到燕家父子会葬身于此。
This way, no one would suspect that the Yan family father and son had met their end here.
zuò wán zhè yī qiè hòu ， lín xuān bù zài dān gē ， suī rán fù jìn méi yǒu rén yān ， dàn liú zài zhè lǐ sì hū yě yǒu xiē bù biàn ， tā jiāng yù fēng shù shī zhǎn kāi ， lián yè gǎn lù 。
做完这一切后，林轩不再耽搁，虽然附近没有人烟，但留在这里似乎也有些不便，他将御风术施展开，连夜赶路。
After completing all this, Lin Xuan didn't linger any longer. Although there was no one around, staying here seemed inconvenient. He used Wind Control Technique to travel at night.
lín xuān yì kǒu qì pǎo chū le liǎng bǎi yú lǐ ， zhí dào bàn yè shí fēn ， cái suí biàn zhǎo le yí gè shān dòng xiē xī ， rán hòu dì èr tiān yī zǎo jiù qǐ shēn chū fā ， qiāo qiāo de huí dào le piāo yún gǔ 。
林轩一口气跑出了两百余里，直到半夜时分，才随便找了一个山洞歇息，然后第二天一早就起身出发，悄悄的回到了飘云谷。
Lin Xuan ran for over two hundred miles until midnight before finding a cave to rest in. The next morning, he set off quietly and returned to Drifting Cloud Valley.
rán hòu zhí bēn dān xiá shān ， huí dào fèi dān fáng de dì pán 。
然后直奔丹霞山，回到废丹房的地盘。
Then he headed straight to Danxia Mountain, back into the territory of the waste pills room.
“ xiān shī ！”
“仙师！”
"Immortal Master!"
cǐ shí yǐ shì shǎng wǔ ， yǐ zhào míng wéi shǒu de zhòng tóng zi zhèng zài shài tài yáng xiē xī ， jiàn le lín xuān ， lián máng gōng shēn xíng lǐ 。
此时已是晌午，以赵明为首的众童子正在晒太阳歇息，见了林轩，连忙躬身行礼。
It was already noon when Lin Xuan arrived. Zhao Ming, leading the young disciples, were basking in the sun for a rest. Seeing him, they quickly bowed and saluted.
“ ń ， zuì jìn zhè duàn shí jiān ， kě yǒu fā shēng shén me shì ？”
“嗯，最近这段时间，可有发生什么事？”
"Hmm, has anything happened recently?"
“ qǐng xiān shī fàng xīn ， yī qiè ān hǎo 。”
“请仙师放心，一切安好。”
"Please rest assured; everything is well."
zhào míng gōng jìng de huí dá ， zhì yú lín xuān wèi hé chū qù le bàn gè yuè ， tā yī jù méi wèn ， fán nǎo jiē yīn duō kāi kǒu ， huò shì jiē yóu qiáng chū tóu ， xiān shī dà rén de xíng zōng ， nǎ lún dé dào zì jǐ duō kǒu 。
赵明恭敬的回答，至于林轩为何出去了半个月，他一句没问，烦恼皆因多开口，祸事皆由强出头，仙师大人的行踪，哪轮得到自己多口。
Zhao Ming answered respectfully without asking why Lin Xuan had been gone for half a month. It was better not to speak too much when dealing with such matters. The movements of Immortal Master were none of his concern.
duì yú zhòng tóng zi de guāi jué ， lín xuān fēi cháng mǎn yì ， diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ ń ， nǐ men máng ba 。” shuō wán biàn huí dào le zì jǐ de fáng jiān zhōng 。
对于众童子的乖觉，林轩非常满意，点了点头：“嗯，你们忙吧。”说完便回到了自己的房间中。
Lin Xuan was very satisfied with the young disciples' obedience and nodded, "Hm, you can go about your business." He then returned to his room.
wài miàn de jìn zhì yī rán wán hǎo ， kàn lái zhè duàn shí jiān zì jǐ suī rán lí kāi ， kě yě méi yǒu rén * jìn guò cǐ dì ， zhè yì yú fèi dān fáng de huāng pì ， píng shí bú huì yǒu rén dǎ rǎo ， duì yú dāng chū de xuǎn zé ， lín xuān pǒ wèi zì dé ， jì yǒu le chōng zú dān yào ， tóng shí hái yǒu le kě yǐ jìng xīn xiū liàn de chǎng suǒ ， yī jǔ liǎng dé 。
外面的禁制依然完好，看来这段时间自己虽然离开，可也没有人*近过此地，这益于废丹房的荒僻，平时不会有人打扰，对于当初的选择，林轩颇为自得，既有了充足丹药，同时还有了可以静心修炼的场所，一举两得。
Theprohibition seal outside remained intact, indicating that no one had approached this place during his absence. This was due to the waste pills room's remote location; it rarely disturbed by others. Lin Xuan felt quite pleased with his choice—having ample supplies of elixirs and a quiet place for cultivation, all in one.
cǐ xíng suī rán yù jiàn le yī xiē má fán ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō fēi cháng xiōng xiǎn ， dàn shōu huò yě shí fēn fēng hòu ， chú le jīng shí bǎo wù ， gōng fǎ jiù yǒu sān běn zhī duō ， líng kòng shù de wèn tí jiě jué le ， hái yǒu 《 líng yún jué 》 kě shì dāng qián de jí xū zhī wù 。
此行虽然遇见了一些麻烦，甚至可以说非常凶险，但收获也十分丰厚，除了晶石宝物，功法就有三本之多，灵控术的问题解决了，还有《凌云诀》可是当前的急需之物。
Although he encountered some trouble on this trip, even saying that it was very dangerous, the gains were substantial. Besides crystal stones and treasures, there were three techniques: Spirit Control Technique had been resolved, and Lingyun Art was urgently needed at present.
zhè suī rán jǐn jǐn shì yī běn chū jí gōng fǎ ， dàn què bèi zhù jī qī gāo shǒu suǒ tuī chóng ， zài líng dòng qī xiū liàn ， bù jǐn néng gòu jìn zhǎn gèng kuài ， ér qiě jī chǔ yě gèng jiā de wěn gù 。
这虽然仅仅是一本初级功法，但却被筑基期高手所推崇，在灵动期修炼，不仅能够进展更快，而且基础也更加的稳固。
This was merely a初级 cultivation method, but it was highly regarded by Foundation Establishment practitioners. In the Flexible Spirit Period, not only would progress be faster, but the foundation would also be more solid.
xiū xiān zhī lù shí fēn màn cháng ， líng dòng qī suī rán shì zuì dī jí de jiē duàn ， dàn qiān wàn bú yào xiǎo kàn ， zhè yě shì dǎ jī chǔ de jiē duàn ， rú guǒ jī chǔ bù wěn ， duì hòu miàn de xiū liàn dà yǒu fáng ài ， xiāng fǎn ， rú guǒ jī chǔ wěn gù ， hòu miàn xiū liàn de shí hòu hǎo chù zé huì zhú jiàn tǐ xiàn chū lái 。
修仙之路十分漫长，灵动期虽然是最低级的阶段，但千万不要小看，这也是打基础的阶段，如果基础不稳，对后面的修炼大有妨碍，相反，如果基础稳固，后面修炼的时候好处则会逐渐体现出来。
The path of cultivation was long and arduous. Although the Flexible Spirit Period was the lowest stage, one must never underestimate its importance—it was a foundational phase. If the foundation was unstable, it could hinder future practice; conversely, if the foundation was strong, benefits would gradually become apparent in later stages.
lín xuān bìng méi yǒu mǎ shàng kāi shǐ xiū liàn ， ér shì xiān xiū xī huī fù le yī tiān ， yǔ yàn jiā fù zi yī zhàn ， suī rán méi yǒu shòu shāng ， dàn yàn tiān héng bì jìng shì líng dòng qī dà yuán mǎn jìng jiè de gāo shǒu ， zì jǐ suī yǒu líng qì fú lù xiāng zhù ， dàn zhàn shèng tā yě shí fēn jiān nán 。
林轩并没有马上开始修炼，而是先休息恢复了一天，与燕家父子一战，虽然没有受伤，但燕天衡毕竟是灵动期大圆满境界的高手，自己虽有灵器符箓相助，但战胜他也十分艰难。
Lin Xuan did not immediately start practicing but first rested for a day. The battle with the Yan family father and son had left him unharmed, but Yan Tianheng was a master of the Flexible Spirit Period. Even with his spirit artifacts and talismans, defeating him was no easy task; it required both strength and strategy.
bù jǐn dòu lì ， ér qiě dòu zhì ， gōng xīn shù ， shì dí yǐ ruò ， rán hòu zài qiǎo bù xiàn jǐng ， jiā shàng lián yè gǎn lù ， jǐn jǐn bàn yè de shí hòu xiū xī le yí gè duō shí chén ， shēn tǐ yǐ jīng hěn pí bèi le ， yǐ zhè zhǒng zhuàng tài xiū liàn ， xiào guǒ kěn dìng bù hǎo ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān jué dìng xiān huī fù ， xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ ， fǎn zhèng liàn gōng yě bù jí zhè yī tiān liǎng tiān 。
不仅斗力，而且斗智，攻心术，示敌以弱，然后再巧布陷阱，加上连夜赶路，仅仅半夜的时候休息了一个多时辰，身体已经很疲惫了，以这种状态修炼，效果肯定不好，所以林轩决定先恢复，心急吃不了热豆腐，反正练功也不急这一天两天。
Not only did he fight physically, but also mentally—using tactics to weaken his opponent before setting traps. After running all night, he had only rested for an hour or so, leaving him quite fatigued. In such a state, the effects of practice would be poor, so Lin Xuan decided to rest first. There was no rush; one day or two wouldn't make much difference.
xǐ le gè zǎo yǐ hòu ， lín xuān jiù kāi shǐ hū hū dà shuì ， cóng zhōng wǔ yì zhí shuì dào dì èr tiān yī zǎo ， qǐ lái yǐ hòu ， shén qīng qì shuǎng ， tǐ lì chōng pèi ， fǎ lì yě zài shuì mián zhōng bù mǎn ， shì shí hòu kě yǐ kāi shǐ xiū liàn 。
洗了个澡以后，林轩就开始呼呼大睡，从中午一直睡到第二天一早，起来以后，神清气爽，体力充沛，法力也在睡眠中布满，是时候可以开始修炼。
After taking a bath, Lin Xuan fell into a deep sleep from noon until early morning. After waking up, he felt refreshed and full of energy. His mana had also been replenished during his sleep. It was time to start practicing.
zhè yī cì chū mén ， lín xuān shēn qiè tǐ huì dào fǎ lì de zhòng yào ， bǐ rú shuō zhè yī zhàn ， píng xīn ér lùn ， yàn tiān héng chú le shòu fú ， bìng méi yǒu shén me ná dé chū shǒu de bǎo wù ， kě tā yìng shì píng zhe xiū wèi ， yǔ zì jǐ de shàng bǎi fú lù yìng káng ， rú guǒ bú shì yòng jì ， xiǎng yào zhàn shèng tā hái zhēn bù róng yì 。
这一次出门，林轩深切体会到法力的重要，比如说这一战，平心而论，燕天衡除了兽符，并没有什么拿得出手的宝物，可他硬是凭着修为，与自己的上百符箓硬扛，如果不是用计，想要战胜他还真不容易。
This trip made him deeply realize the importance of mana. For example, in this battle, despite Yan Tianheng's beast soul talisman, he still relied on his cultivation level to withstand Lin Xuan's hundred or so talismans. If not for his tactics, defeating him would have been much harder.
zài shuō líng qì ， què shí wēi lì wú bǐ ， kě yǐ zì jǐ dì sì céng de xiū wèi ， miǎn qiǎng yě jiù néng qū dòng zhōng pǐn de hún jīn suǒ ， rú guǒ zì jǐ fǎ lì zú gòu ， néng gòu cāo zòng nà bǐng shàng pǐn fēi jiàn de huà ， zǎo jiù néng gòu qīng sōng de qǔ diào yàn tiān héng de shǒu jí 。
再说灵器，确实威力无比，可以自己第四层的修为，勉强也就能驱动中品的浑金索，如果自己法力足够，能够操纵那柄上品飞剑的话，早就能够轻松的取掉燕天衡的首级。
Moreover, spirit artifacts were indeed powerful—Lin Xuan could barely control a middle-grade golden chain with only the fourth layer of his cultivation. If his mana was sufficient, he could easily wield an upper-grade flying sword and take Yan Tianheng's head off effortlessly.
bǎo wù zài duō ， kě méi yǒu zú gòu fǎ lì de zhī chēng ， yě méi yǒu zuò yòng ， zhì shǎo wēi lì shàng shì yào dǎ zhé kòu ， suǒ yǐ dāng wù zhī jí ， zì jǐ xiū liàn de zhòng diǎn hái shì tí shēng shí lì ， zhì yú líng kòng shù ， dōu kě yǐ shāo wēi de huǎn yī huǎn ， děng jìn rù líng dòng hòu qī ， liàn chéng dì wǔ céng huò zhě dì liù céng gōng fǎ yǐ hòu ， zài màn màn xué xí 。
宝物再多，可没有足够法力的支撑，也没有作用，至少威力上是要打折扣，所以当务之急，自己修炼的重点还是提升实力，至于灵控术，都可以稍微的缓一缓，等进入灵动后期，练成第五层或者第六层功法以后，再慢慢学习。
No matter how many treasures one had, without enough mana to support them, their effectiveness would be reduced. Therefore, the priority now should be enhancing his strength; he could put Spirit Control Technique on hold for a while. Once he entered the Flexible Spiritlatter period and mastered the fifth or sixth layer of techniques, he could gradually learn it.
shàn yú zǒng jié jīng yàn shì lín xuān de yī dà yōu diǎn ， cǐ cì chū xíng ， ràng tā gǎn chù liáng duō ， mén pài yǔ xiū zhēn jiā zú de bà dào ， sàn xiū de gǎn nù bù gǎn yán ， gèng ràng tā rèn shí dào xiū zhēn jiè méi yǒu shén me dào lǐ hǎo jiǎng ， zài zhè yǐ lì fú rén de shì jiè ， quán tou cái shì yìng dào lǐ ， xiǎng yào bù shòu qì ， jiù yào nǔ lì tí shēng zì jǐ de shí lì 。
善于总结经验是林轩的一大优点，此次出行，让他感触良多，门派与修真家族的霸道，散修的敢怒不敢言，更让他认识到修真界没有什么道理好讲，在这以力服人的世界，拳头才是硬道理，想要不受气，就要努力提升自己的实力。
Lin Xuan was good at summarizing experiences. This trip taught him much—about the dominance of sects and cultivation families, the silent anger of solitary cultivators, and how there were no principles in the cultivation world. In this world where strength ruled, only those who strengthened themselves could avoid being bullied.
Then Lin Xuan approached the body of Yan Tianheng and happily began to collect the spoils from the battle. Although this man was cunning and vicious, he was still the head of a family, so his assets would not disappoint.
Lin Xuan found a storage bracelet on him. He injected his divine sense into it and cleared out everything inside.
Nine lower-grade crystal stones, one bottle of Essence Cleansing Pills, and an jade cylinder—without looking, Lin Xuan knew that these were theintermediate cultivation method he had stolen from the Wang family disciple. Besides, there was also a small cauldron.
The harvest wasn't bad!
The nine crystal stones would be enough to buy the talismans he needed. The technique in the jade cylinder was already reserved by the Wang family, so it must be much better than what he could buy. Although he didn't lack Essence Cleansing Pills, saving time on purification was still beneficial. As for the cauldron, after taking it out of the storage bracelet, it emitted a shocking amount of qi and had strange patterns carved into its surface, clearly not an ordinary item.
Adding to this, there was also a beast soul talisman. Although he had used nearly one hundred lower-grade talismans in this battle, his gains were much greater than his losses.
"Hey, what's this?"
Lin Xuan suddenly noticed a small box at the corner of the storage bracelet. Because it was unobtrusive, he almost overlooked it.
Using his divine sense to retrieve it, it was carved from sandalwood and had an ancient charm. Opening the lid, he found a piece of silk inside, with a medicinal herb placed on top.
The herb had been harvested for some time but remained fresh, emitting a faint fragrance that made him feel refreshed. Although Lin Xuan didn't recognize it, he knew it was definitely rare.
He closed the box and put it away with other treasures in his storage bracelet. Then, he moved the bodies of the Yan family father and son together and used a talisman with Sand Flow Technique to turn the ground into marshland. The two bodies sank into it and disappeared without a trace. After some time, the sand turned back into solid earth.
This way, no one would suspect that the Yan family father and son had met their end here.
After completing all this, Lin Xuan didn't linger any longer. Although there was no one around, staying here seemed inconvenient. He used Wind Control Technique to travel at night.
Lin Xuan ran for over two hundred miles until midnight before finding a cave to rest in. The next morning, he set off quietly and returned to Drifting Cloud Valley.
Then he headed straight to Danxia Mountain, back into the territory of the waste pills room.
"Immortal Master!"
It was already noon when Lin Xuan arrived. Zhao Ming, leading the young disciples, were basking in the sun for a rest. Seeing him, they quickly bowed and saluted.
